Answer 5

In order to find out hat 15 is 5% of what number,

Lets assume that the number is x.

Therefore, we form an equation:

15=5% of x

15=(5/100) *x

Taking 5/100 on the other side:

15*100/5=x

or, x=15*100/5

x= 1500/5

x= 300

Therefore, we find out that x is equal to 300, which means that 15 is 5 percent of 300.
